A mental health charity has praised the fundraising work of Sudbury’s former mayor, after she donated more than £450 collected over her mayoral year.

Sarah Page selected Richmond Fellowship as one of her chosen charities between 2017 and 2018, and held a number of fundraising activities over the year, including several coffee mornings in Sudbury Town Hall.

In total, her efforts collected £467.20 for the charity.

Mrs Page said: “I was inspired by the work of Richmond Fellowship and the fantastic staff in Sudbury.

“I was impressed with the work of this organisation and I feel Richmond Fellowship make a huge difference to people’s lives.

“Their work has such a positive impact on not only their clients, but our wider community.”
